The Pac-12 on Friday disclosed its tax filings for the 2024-25 fiscal year, offering a look at the unprecedented financial state of the conference during the transition period with Washington State and Oregon State as the sole members.

On Dec. 3, 2025, a smiling Jedd Fisch sat at the podium in Washington’s team room at Husky Stadium eager to talk about his program's recruiting successes. UW had just signed its highest-rated recruiting class, excluding a couple last-minute additions, since 1999, fulfilling a promise the UW coach made during his introductory news conference around 22 months earlier. “It’s what we’ve strived ...

There are 50 days until the Pac-12 returns as an officially recognized conference with nine schools for basketball, eight for football and one lingering, inescapable question: Will it expand again?

SEATTLE – Ryan Walters is no stranger to second-year improvement. As a defensive coordinator, it’s his history-proven expectation.

Never say never with realignment, but it seems extremely unlikely that Gonzaga would have joined a conference featuring the 12 Mountain West schools and WSU and OSU.

SEATTLE – Darude’s “Sandstorm” won’t echo through Husky Stadium for the next three months. Neither will Endor’s “Pump It Up.”

SEATTLE – Demond Williams Jr. is Washington’s most divisive player, thanks to a withdrawn attempt to transfer elsewhere.

Friday night’s spring game capped off a series of 15 practice sessions for the Eastern Washington football team, which won’t officially reconvene until July 28 when the 2026 preseason begins.

SEATTLE – For Jedd Fisch, Washington’s spring game represents an ending and a beginning.

MOSCOW, Idaho – The first play was the best play.

One of the more obvious statistical shortcomings of last year’s Eastern Washington football team was its lack of a dominant No. 1 receiver.

PULLMAN – Washington State has its class of 2027 quarterback.

ESPN and the CW have agreed to a deal that will put the broadcast network’s sports offerings on ESPN’s app through its Unlimited service.

PULLMAN – A month has passed and spring football is over at Washington State, which is on the doorstep of a new era. The Cougars have a new head coach, Kirby Moore, who will pilot his group into the new Pac-12, which launches in earnest this summer.

SEATTLE – Demond Williams Jr. thought he was going to get the No. 1 jersey a year ago.

The Pac-12 hasn’t staked out an official position on the College Football Playoff’s future format, at least in terms of the field size. But philosophically, the conference has a clear preference: access.

PULLMAN – Washington State didn’t have anyone selected in this year’s NFL Draft, the first time that’s happened in five years, but the Cougars are still placing players in the pros.

PULLMAN – For the majority of Washington State’s spring practice slate, the Cougars’ defensive unit commanded many of the headlines. Their defensive line surged into the backfield for sacks. Their secondary picked off a bevy of passes. And their linebackers showed a little more depth than expected, underscoring the theme of their first 14 practices.

As Eastern Washington’s spring football practices enter their final week, the offensive coaches have yet to make a final call about who will be the team’s No. 1 quarterback heading into preseason practices in August.
